NEW GREENMECH
SURE-TRAK REVOLUTIONISES EMBANKMENT
WORKING FOR SOUTH WEST ARB
“My previous employer had been a
longstanding user of the SAFE-Trak
units and, having looked at other
machines, when it came to working
on embankments or challenging
terrain, no other chippers came
close.” After quickly adding a second
SAFE-Trak to his fleet, Stewart
then heard about the launch of
GreenMech’s next generation track
system, SURE-Trak.
Allowing safe traversing of slopes
in excess of 35 degrees, the pivoting
SURE-Trak assemblies allow each
track to maintain contact with
the ground independently, while
following differing contours, to
provide a surer footprint and
improved stability. “When I saw
what the 19-28 fitted with SURE-
Trak system could do, it was a
complete game changer. It can get
absolutely anywhere and the ability
to tilt the body means it’s now even
easier and safer for the operator
to feed in material, no matter the
embankment angle.”
GreenMech’s new pivoting track
extension system has proven itself
to be a real game changer for
Scotland’s South West Arb. With
an increasing number of rail-side
de-veg projects demanding work
on steep embankments, the SURE-
Trak’s ability to perform in even the
most challenging of environments
saw owner Stewart Ball taking

delivery of the first SURE-Trak 19-28
woodchipper in the UK earlier this
year.
“When I established South West
Arb five years ago, the first thing I
purchased was a GreenMech SAFE-
Trak chipper” explains Stewart,
who now heads-up a team of 15.
To help in the delivery of power
line and railway contracts, Stewart
was delighted to take delivery of his
SURE-Trak 19-28 from local dealer
Lloyd Ltd, in January 2019. “Not only
can they reach any given location,
but the actual chipping performance
is second to none. The powerful
rollers will pull in even the most
awkward forked material for the
disc blades to process. Keep these
sharp and they won’t skip a beat.”
Stewart concludes, “Since we’ve had
the SURE-Trak, it’s been working on
embankments that other chippers
could only dream of getting to!”
